Musharraf serious about fighting terrorism: US
 State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Tuesday at his regular daily briefing that, President Musharraf is serious about fighting violent extremism and terror. He is as much threatened by terror and violence as we are. He no more wants to see the tribal areas turned into a sanctuary and safe haven for the Taliban or Al Qaeda or other violent extremists than we do. So we are going to continue to support him in his efforts. Were there where we think course corrections are needed, required and advisable, then of course were going to talk to him about them, but were going to do it through diplomatic channels. Were not going to necessarily advertise it in public. But we have said in the past that this is the agreement, as it was originally structured, was not hasnt worked out. It hasnt worked out the way that we had hoped, and he has said that it hasnt worked out the way that he had hoped.Posted by: Fred 2007-07-18 |
